MEXICO.- While the working class in Mexico only receives a bonus each year equal to fifteen days of work during the Holiday Season, federal representatives (also called "deputies") and senators received a bonus equal to two or six fortnights, ranging from $40,000 ($2,719 dlls) to $300,000 ($20,399 dlls) pesos, according to the comparative chart from the national Reforma newspaper, where it also points out how Baja California was the only state to not receive a bonus.
San Luis Potosí's Congress was the state legislature to squander the most when it came to paying this ninety days bonus to each of their 27 legislators, followed by Guanajuato with 36 deputies and Jalisco state, who decided to split the bonus into two paychecks: One for December, due at the year's end, and the rest for March, due for the Easter holidays.
